Rachael Maddow on

[samplegirl]

tonight for an hour and a half. Talking about why we should wear a mask and hot spots!

1. I just caught a few minutes of her segment on churches and outbreaks of the infection. I

knew a few of them, had no idea there were so many. covidiot in chief will have lots more blood on his hands, and so will all the church leaders.

[samplegirl]

7. Yes for once

I can say the Catholic Church stood their ground and said they won’t have mass!

2. Brian Williams is on

at 10:30. Was there a Lawrence O'Donnell development in the news today that I've missed?

[House of Roberts]

3. Lawrence seldom works on Friday night.

Usually Ali Velshi stands in, but he does the early show on Saturday morning too.

4. What, does he think he's Johhny Carson or something?

Shows what little attention I pay MSNBC on Friday nights. After Rachel I usually start surfing around.

9. Not that I'm aware of, but last night there was a weird handoff.

Rachel said something like, same bat-time, same bat-channel. Lawrence gave her some shit about it, saying how old do you have to be to get that reference? Rachel seemed stunned for a few seconds, but replied that Batman was timeless (I’m paraphrasing all this). Then she lost Lawrence’s audio and couldn’t say much more. They cut to Lawrence and he chided his staff for cutting away from Rachel.

I am NOT saying this weirdness is the cause of Lawrence’s absence, but it would not surprise me if Rachel had had enough of Lawrence’s behavior. I’d be offended if I were in her shoes — a coworker basically called her old on national TV. I’m sure he meant it in fun, but maybe he doesn’t realize how he comes off.

I never cared for his demeanor. I realize he’s an ally, but to me he comes off a little creepy or smarmy. Which is fine if you’re dissing a Republican, but not so great for interpersonal relationships. The handoffs to him from her always seem awkward, forced and too long. I may be in the minority on this, but I wouldn’t miss him.

10. I checked the guide, and Lawrence is on next week.

So my misgivings about him are just my own.

5. Rachel had an error in one of her data lists.

She had New Mexico as a state without a mask wearing mandate. Governor Lujan-Grisham ordered
a week or so ago that everyone wear masks in public.

[samplegirl]

8. Good you caught that!

I wish Dewine would of been stricter than he was about masks. He tried.
Tonight the bars here are packed and no masks on.
It’s gonna spread fast and hard here in Ohio.

11. Stay safe.

[Gothmog]

6. Yeah

She is doing longer bocks and appears to be having fun
